Key Finding
"A great team culture like a family and solid training in autism support, although agency staff use and basic daily activities without specialist programmes hold it back."

Training & Dev
7/10

Management
6/10
✓
One relative told us, “They run everything by us. It’s a well led service I would recommend it."
Programmes
6/10
✓
Staff told us, “We have different activities for individuals each day, they can choose... [Name] can go out as many times as [Name] wants... to the seaside."
Points to consider
Staffing levels are adequate but they use some bank and regular agency staff.
When bank staff work at Aspire, it's people the service users know, and we have regular agency staff too that know the service users."
No activities coordinator or specialist programmes, so the role is mostly supporting daily outings, cooking and shopping.
We have different activities for individuals each day, they can choose... helps with cooking, cleaning and washing up."
Management is competent with standard checks in place but no evidence of a hands-on leader working alongside staff.
Quality assurance systems and processes were in place to ensure safety and quality improvement."
